Royce Lewis has worked out spectacularly thus far--power from him, too--and it hasn't mattered a bit.

well my will to try and compete this season has been crushed, i'm open to trade offers too. in particular i've got a couple of excellent closers for anyone chasing saves. looking for keepers in the lower age bracket, since i only have one option there right now. not trading rutschman or ragans but i'd listen to offers on anyone else.

I'm now 12th, a mere 6 points ahead of z_tbd. My collapse has been relentless.

Sent you an offer.

(2 NA)
i was not joking, clemenza - the battle for last place will be a real one, and it will get ugly
― z_tbd, Monday, 24 June 2024 18:39 (five days ago) link
it is my honor and duty to be a competitive last place team
i do think there should be some sort of league system where the last place team gets a special bonus in the offseason, like maybe a big cash prize

REBUILD MODE CONTINUES:
For anyone looking for <27 keepers, I drafted a 24yo 1B currently in AAA who is currently ranked #54¹, 55², 74³ or 89th⁴ in Fantasy Dynasty/Keeper/Prospect rankings:
Spencer Torkelson (he hit 27 homeruns over Jun-Oct last year in MLB)
He is cockblocked because I have 2 *other* <27yo prospects awaiting my NA list and the other 1B I drafted as insurance has exceeded expectations.
I'm humbly looking for SVH help, eg someone who has earned ~20 SVH so far...?

NEVERMIND, lol NA accepted my trade earlier lol. Kindly disregard.
― Mrs. Ippei (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 June 2024 16:50 (four days ago) link
i have a similar problem - i need some 27-29 keepers for next year! i will try to some research soon and figure out if another team is a good fit for a trade. but...i have a surplus of younger keepers and decent starting pitching, up for grabs
― z_tbd, Tuesday, 25 June 2024 16:51 (four days ago) link
i feel like we are all very trade-y this season

Mon - Wed stats:
a whopping 4 for 54: .191 OBP/.130 SLG = .321 OPS

i feel like i already missed the boat on trading win-now guys, but i do have gausman and zack wheeler and rodon, the latter two of whom have been top 20 and top 100 all season, and the first of whom has also been good if you ignore the first awful month. my keepers for next season are pretty solid -- abrams, taj, basallo or gimenez in the young slots and acuna + jhoan or o'neill in the old slots -- but if someone wants to help me upgrade one of those slots, i got them pretty darn good pitchers

also the sheet is updated once again for the end of the month (roughly)
― Ryan seaQuest (Will M.), Thursday, 27 June 2024 16:05 (two days ago) link
names i didnt bother including above in my offers but who are available include, uhh, pretty much everyone. alonso, yandy diaz, correa, winker, stanton, scherzer, bednar, etc. honestly my team looks good on paper its just been awful in practice

Watching a rare Jays inning, and I see that Tim Mayza has a 6.20 ERA. I've left him on my roster all year, untouched--he had a great spring, or a great first few games, or something, and I think I start with the assumption that all relievers in 2024 carry sub-2.00 ERAs. This is why I'm bouncing around last place.

Roused myself into cutting Mayza loose this morning.
